A question about CS and Philosophy

<p>I'm quite interested in these two fields. Can you suggest any college that offers courses in CS and philosophy? I mean, not these two separately, but how they relate to one another? I tried google but only found Oxford, which unfortunately is not in America. </p>

<p>are there any books about this topic? Please note it's Philosophy AND CS, not Philosophy Of CS. :D</p>

<p>Thank you very much.</p>

<p>I don’t know of any off the top of my head, so I’m not much help. I would be surprised if many such programs exist. It seems to me that a CS degree is typically quite practical, and applicable to the workplace, and philosophy… maybe not so much. Both are really interesting fields, and I suspect a lot of CS departments have a course or two on “CS ethics” or something like that. </p>

<p>I’m sure you could dual-major plenty of places… worst case scenario. Good luck.</p>

<p>What kinds of courses?</p>

<ul>
<li>Ethical and social implications of CS, or science and engineering generally.</li>
<li>Logic, incompleteness, undecidability, computability, etc… Courses touching on these topics may also be found in math departments.</li>
</ul>

<p>Computers and Ethics. Analysis and discussion of prob- lems created for society by computers, and how these problems pose ethical dilemmas to both computer professionals and computer users. Topics include: computer crime, viruses, software theft, ethical implica- tions of life-critical systems. FALL, SPRING. [3]</p>

<p>We also have a class on discrete structures, which I suppose is similar to your second bullet point, but I presume this is true at most all universities.</p>

<p>Outside of that, I see nothing further at my university that seems to match what you are looking for.</p>

<p>Can you tell me which college offers these courses, ucbalumnus and Sykology? If possible I’d like to buy a few reference books used in the courses. Thanks!</p>
